This article investigates the importance of integrating critical thinking into modern education systems, with particular focus on the Uzbek context. It highlights the current educational shortcomings in fostering independent thought, analytical reasoning, and creativity in students. The paper delves into the significance of critical thinking as a tool for lifelong learning, problem-solving, and personal empowerment. While educational reforms are being introduced, challenges such as teacher-centered instruction, exam-oriented culture, and lack of teacher training hinder the development of critical faculties in learners. The article also offers sustainable solutions to embed critical thinking at all educational levels, with emphasis on curriculum revision, teacher re-education, and classroom strategies.
